Tavour Review

Beer clubs are great. Receiving monthly deliveries of fantastic craft beer is a modern day pleasure, with a hint of luxury. Many beer subscription services are rigid in their selection, offering limited customization. Tavour, however, gives users plenty of freedom and connects beer lovers with spectacular and rare beer.

We recommend Tavour as the best beer delivery service for premium American craft beer. Users get unprecedented access to top-notch beer via an easy-to-use app. Tavour makes it interactive and fun to buy new and trendy beer releases. To top that off, they also offer a hassle-free subscription service for regular beer delivery.

How does it work?

Tavour is an app that connects craft beer lovers to rare and hard-to-find beers from across the country. You have two options: filling a crate with whatever beer you want, and a more traditional monthly beer subscription service.

Fill Your Crate

Tavour’s core product gives users the ultimate flexibility with their beer choices. It works by filling a “crate” with as many beers as you want. At the end of the month, the crate is shipped directly to your door. If you can’t wait, you can always opt for advanced shipping and you’ll be drinking fresh hazy IPA or sticky pastry stouts within a week or so.

Tavour works closely with the best breweries in America to keep a continuously updated selection of amazing craft beer. Every day, at least two new beers are added to the app.

Whenever a new beer is added, users receive a notification on their phone. Tavour’s selection consists only of highly-rated and sought after beers. You need to be on the ball to make sure you select beers you want before they sell out – which can happen in minutes for certain hyped up beers.

Subscription Service

Tavour’s subscription service is designed to send you the best beer that matches your taste. To narrow down the beer selection, you first fill out your preferred beer profile from the following five categories:

• Hoppy and Juicy
• Dark and Intense
• Sour and Funky
• Light and Crisp
• Cider

You can select any combination of those categories that you want. You can only go for Dark and Intense, tick all five boxes, or choose any other possible combination. The folks at Tavour then look at your profile and send you new beers that you’ll 100% enjoy. You can change your profile setting at any time if you want to mix things up.

You can choose between either 6 or 12 bottles per shipment. You also pick the frequency, either monthly, every two months, or every three months.

Tavour’s Beer selection process

Tavour works with over 600 small independent breweries across the U.S. and makes an effort to offer top rated, rare, and unique beer. They release at least two new beers every day so the variety is always changing.

There’s no question that Tavour offers the most impressive selection of all the beer subscription services. You can regularly expect beers from America’s best breweries such as:

• Casey Brewing and Blending
• Fremont Brewing
• Toppling Goliath Brewery
• Frost Beer Works
• Black Project Spontaneous & Wild Ales

One great thing about Tavour is that they offer detailed tasting descriptions with each new beer they post. They include photos of the can or bottle and a freshly poured beer. For most beers, the packaging date is included as well. Their transparency gives you extra confidence that they stand behind the products.

What’s Included?

The Tavour app gives you the freedom to select from the daily uploaded beers, sending your tailored crate directly to your door at the end of the month. If you want it shipped sooner, no worries – simply select “ship now” to get your beer within a week or so. This is a great option when you want to drink an IPA as fresh as possible, or if you need beer quickly for whatever reason…none needed.

If you opt for a subscription, you’ll get either 6 or 12 beers per shipment. You can choose how often you get shipped beer – either once a month, once every two months, or once every three months. Before Tavour ships your beer, you’re able to see the contents of that month’s selection. At that time, you can choose to skip or cancel, with no penalty.

How much does Tavour cost?

Whether you build your own crate of beer, or go for a subscription, the prices will vary depending on a few variables.

Fill Your Crate

Most beers on Tavour will be more expensive than you would find in a typical bottle shop or directly from the brewery. However, for the service and quality of selection, their mark-ups are usually pretty reasonable. A few recent examples include:

Beer	Style	Price
15 Year Anniversary Blend – Maui Brewing Company	Imperial Stout	$31.99 per 750ml bottle
Gremlin – Black Project Spontaneous and Wild Ales	Fruited Sour	$7.99 per 16oz can
DDH Psuedo Sue – Toppling Goliath Brewery	IPA	$9.99 per 16oz can
Tendril – Proclamation Ale Company	IPA	$5.50 per 16oz can

No matter how much beer you buy, shipping is always a flat rate of $14.90.

Subscription

Prices for the subscription depend on what styles of beer you want, number of bottles per shipment, and frequency of shipment.

Size	Every Month	Every 2 Months	Every 3 Months	Shipping	Average Price Per Beer
6 Bottles	$55-65	$57-67	$59-69	Free	$9.20-11.50
12 Bottles	$90-115	$94-119	$98-123	Free	$7.50-10.25

Shipping is always free for all subscriptions. Bonus: if you want to add more beer to your order, or make an extra custom crate, Tavour doesn’t charge you extra shipping.

Who is Tavour best for?

Tavour is best for craft beer lovers who prefer to choose their own beer and quantity each month. You will definitely be impressed with the variety offered by Tavour.

The subscription option is a great for on-the-go craft beer enthusiasts who don’t want to spend time picking out beers each month. It also makes a great gift to any serious craft beer fan.

You can trust the team at Tavour to choose excellent and highly-rated beer that matches any taste profile.

Final Thoughts

Tavour makes it easy to buy amazing beer. Download their app and take a look at what’s available. The app is free and there is no obligation to buy anything.

The convenience, ease of use, and quality selection, however, are what set Tavour apart from the competition.

We recommend Tavour to any craft beer lover looking to try rare beers from different parts of the U.S and any curious craft beer connoisseur. It’s difficult to find fault with Tavour and we recommend that you give it a try the next time you want to treat yourself to awesome, independent, craft beer.
